Your Own Two Miles of Texas
When you sign up to adopt a state-run stretch of Texas highway, you make Texas just a little bit cleaner. It will also offer acknowledgment for your organization, family or business when people see your name on our blue highway signs. Taking on this task also helps minimize the taxpayer cost of litter-clean up and makes motorists think twice before throwing garbage out of their vehicle window.
The best part is, it takes very little effort. When you apply to clean two miles of state highway, the Texas Department of Transportation will provide you with the tools you need to get started. All you have to do is agree to go out and pick up trash at least four times a year. This is ideal for school groups, businesses and even family members. Apply now to get your own piece of Texas.
